Grants from the Maryland Department of Transportation, and the Federal Transit Administration, together with County funds and contributions from the City of Rockville, and the Chevy Chase Land Company provided the seeds for Bikeshare in Montgomery County.

Free Bikeshare Memberships Available - Based on Income Eligibility

Bikeshare is affordable for many - but for some folks it still may be a challenge. Free bikeshare memberships are available for those who meet income eligibility requirements. The program is called "JARC" - Job Access Reverse Commute. Qualified individuals will receive free membership in Capital Bikeshare and free bike safety training, a free helmet, and route planning.

Do You Qualify? Those who are currently receiving assistance through any Montgomery County social services organizations - or who may qualify through other low income criteria - should contact Commuter Services at (240) 777-8380 or via email mcdot.CommuterServices@montgomerycountymd.gov for a registration form. Businesses and other organizations are also encouraged to contact Commuter Services at that number if they have interested employees or clients.
